    This was 1 of 5 - 6 paintings I got for $40 at a local thrift store yesterday. I believe it's a surreal (or is it abstract?) nude - see her face!
    I actually like it, but I can't make out the signature. I've fooled with the color controls and brought it up a little better - I think it says Sharon Logan, but isn't there another letter after Logan?
    As for the title - I see reflection in the name but that's about it
    Any help would be appreciated!

    [Fun house] Mirror Reflection II? There's something on the line below that too.

    It's got some cubist in its ancestry too. Not my cup of oil paint precisely, but then I'm not fond of Cubism.

    Best I got..................
    Edit....now I think it says Dec 30, but still not the definitive year.....and at times I half wonder if it might say 186?.....but not sure that would be right??

    I played with that bottom line a little more with not really much more success.....I took that hair or white line out making it easier a bit to read.....then carefully followed & lightly filled in what I perceived to be the same colors in the dates...... that I was pretty sure about.....It DOES look to be Dec 30 196...? could be an 8, 3 or conceivably a 5 but not certain of the 5.......BTW.....image doesn't SHOW as clickable, but it is!!

    I couldn’t copy the artwork, but in my 2nd link above, “Bridge from the Bay” by Sharon Berry Logan, looks to be similar style. I also couldnt find any ledgible signatures.
